The admission was so unexpected that
the trio Of friends who had caught him
said no more until after they had eaten a
good dinner and were seated together in a
chum's room.
Then they began to badger him.

''IIl read it to you boys" said their
friend, seeing they made no move to take

The Kaiser and HIS Servants

One of the finest traits in the character
of the Emperor of Germany is his remem-
brance of his old and tried servants. One
of them, an old man who has been for
years a recipient of a pension from the
Emperor's private treasury, lives near
Bromberg, West Russia. His daughters
husband was not prosperous, but threat
ened with bankruptcy. There was SEEM
ingly no help. But the old man wrote 30
the Emperor telling him the unfortunate
circumstances and begging for loan for
his son-in-law. The Emperor sent the
money to the latter, and said in his letter:
"For the children Of my faithful oil d serv-
ant have no loan. Take the money as a
present, and God may prosper it in your
hands"
